Raced at VIR last weekend at the 24 hour Chumpcar race. One of the teams there was from Stewart-Haas. Picked up a few blower motors for $5 bucks each! Thanks Tony!

Ozgur, my problem (like most I suspect) is I like them all...but right now I like the slabside and comp flares just a little bit better. I see big round fenders on every cobra around and would like to try something a little different. Besides, changing that down the road will be a phone call away since this stuff exists now.

Here are the gaps in front and rear. Not sure what sizes these are as Bruce has been playing with wheels and tires.

I've done similar fender flares on my first scratch built
Eagerly waiting for your alternative

This is one of the looks Bruce and I have talked about. One of the issues is whether there is a harder crease at the fender / flare vs a more blended look. I don't want them to look like clown shoes, but "big and right" is the goal...I think. Fortunately the flares are modular so it's a matter of making them the way we like. On my first car, I was concerned about having the wheel / tire / fender just right because I thought that was important to the overall look. Cars that don't seem "right" seem to miss that piece. Bruce has several wheels and tires and with modular flares we should be able to dial right in on the look we agree is good, in our opinion.

That's a great look. I think you tuck skinny wire wheels under it or go all out comp flares. You could just leave the from alone with just a litte tire sticking out & flare the back. That would seem more like original flaring to me.
